September, 1862

! Meantime, where was Lee?
The war had up to that time been chiefly
waged in what was regarded as Confederate
territory. Stonewall jackson had long been
eager to change this tactics and carry the
war into Union territory. Both he and Lee
had been casting an eye over Maryland
Why not cross the Potomac into Maryland
by one of Jackson's famous foot cavalry
marches, subsist on the country and threaten
Washington from the norths
There was feeling in the south that Mary
land, geographically, politically and socially,
belonged to the Confederacy. The state con-
tanned many secession sympathizers It was
believed that the sight Of Lee and jackson
and the stars and bars once within their bor-
ders would rouse all the Confederate enthu-
siasm that slumbered in the breasts of the
Maryianders.
Gems. Lee and Jackson resolved to invade
Maryland. Lee issued proclamation to the
people of that state, telling them that he was
coming among them to aid them In throwing
off that foreign yoke which had inflicted such
wrongs and outrages upon the citizens Of
commonwealth allied to the states of the
south by the strongest ties.
Col Bradley johnson, a Confederate Mary
lander, was authorized to get recruits for the
southern army in his native state He invited
his fellow citizens to join the Confederate
ranks. "We have arms for you,' be said.
s.Let each man provide himself with stout
pair Of shoes, good blanket and tin cup.

Lee only waited for D. Fl. Hills brigades
from Richmond to join him, thus increasing
his battle worn and storm beaten army some

tered the Confederate service as colonel of g
North Carolina regiment. He was actively
engaged throughout the whole war, having
speedily become q major general and division
commander. He was a brother-i1-law Of
Gen. "Stonewall' Jackson.
He displayed good generalship Sept. L.
1862, at South Mountain.
On the map of Maryland will be seen three
short mountain ranges or spurs, running
slightly east of north from the left bank Of
the Potomac river. The most southerly is the
Catoctin, the next is the ridge called South
mountains. while west Of that is the crooked,
short Elk mountain range. They belong to
the Blue Ridge system. It was all about this
region, marching and counter marching,
lodging through the mountain gaps, that the
Federal and Confederate fought the Maryland
campaign quarter century ago. Pleasant
Valley, often mentioned, is between the Elk
mountain and South mountain range. Boons-
boro is a village near the foot of South noun
tain ON its west side. Boonsboro is thirteen
miles from Hagerstown, which is on the
northwest.
The battle of South Mountain, Sept. Il,
was series of short yet sufficiently bloody
fights around Turner's Gap, Fox's Gap and
Crampton's Gap. These were passes through
which the roads crossing South Mountain
led. They were several miles apart, begin
ming with Turner's Gap on the north Fox's
Gap was next, south Of that, and south of
Fox,s Gap was Champions Gap, towards
Harper's Ferry.
The famous special order No. 191" told
Mcclellan Lee considered the possession of
Harper's Ferry Of so much Importance that
be had divided his army to get it.
Stonewall Jackson's command and Walk
er's division had crossed the Potomac, Jack
son above and Walker below Harper's Ferry.
Thence they were to come together and take
the Ferry. At the same time Gen. Lafay-
cite McLaws was to approach the ferry from
the Maryland shore and take possession of
Maryland Heights, opposite the ferry, and
thence aid in reducing the town. Lee him
self, with Longstreet's division, D. Fl. Hill as
a rear guard was to be at Boonsboro or
Hagerstown, waiting till Harpers Ferry was
reduced. J. e. B. Stuart, the cavalryman,
was to send detachment of his men with
Gems. Longstreet, Jackson and McLaws,
each, and then with the main body of his
cavalry cover the route of the army and
"bring up oil stragglers."

Mcclellan had been puzzled to know what
Tee would do next after the battle OF Cham
tillv. He knew by September that they
had crossed into Maryland. He followed,
but was uncertain which route Lee would
take from Frederick He advanced on that
town, but slowly and cautiously, everest
mating, as he had done before at Rich
mond, the strength Of Lees army
He reached Frederick Sept. II and occu-
pied it after a skrnlish with Lees rear
guard. The COnfederates had evacuated the
place, but where had they gone now! He
found out in a singular way. A copy OF Gen
Lees orders to his commanding generals had
been left in D. H. Hills headquarters at
Frederick, when the Confederate army quit
ted there September 10. The order was issued
September 8. and was three days old when it
was handed to Mcclellan. 1t told him all he
wanted to know.
If Pope's dispatch book had been captured
nv the Confederates month before, and the
Federal plans laid bare, the Union army was
avenged now The fatal special order No.
191" revealed that Harpers Ferry, Va. was
the great objective point Of Lee This special
order became known through the south as the
Lost Dispatch" Gan. D. H. Hill, however,
declares that it misled Mcclellan, and that
it did not amount to anything anyway.

cas, so is the s'Roto" in Chili the child of the
 Spaniard and the Araucanian Indians, the race of giants with which the early explorers reported that Patagonia was peopled- "menne of that bigginess," as Sir Francis Drake reported, "that it seemed the trees of the forests were uprooted and were moving away" They have the Spanish tenacity of purpose, the Indian endurance and the cruel ty of both. Each soldier, in the mountains or the desert, carries on his breast two buck skin bags. In one are the leaves of the cocoa plant, in the other powdered lime made of the ashes of potato skins. The coca is the strongest sort of tonic. and by chewing it the Chillano soldier can abstain from food or drink for a week or ten days at stretch. The Chillano soldier is not easily subjected to discipline, and outvandals the vandals in the destruction of property, as the present condition of Peru will prove. He burns and destroys everything within his reach that has sheltered an enemy. No authority can re- strain his hand. The awful scenes of devas- tation that took place in Peru have nothing to parallel them in the annals of modern warfare. On the battlefelds nine-tenths of the dead were found with their throats cut, and the Chillanos took no prisoners, except when whole army capitulated. They ask no quarter and give none. The knowledge of this characteristic, and the fear of the Chillano knife was powerful factor in the subjugation of the more humane Peruvians.

The Run Made by Hose Company te
 Fire and for a Prize.

The Run Made by a Hose Company te Fire and for a Prize. From the Dakota Bell.1
 At the territorial fremen's tournament at Mitchell recently, just after one of the hose carts races, man who is in business in one of the towns represented stepped up to the captain of his hose company and said:
 ''Jim, that was a good run you boys made" -~
 eve fancy that it was somewhat rapid ,, "Your cart looked just like long red streak
 s'I presume SOD
 ''Must have gone the whole distance in bout forty seconds, reckon!"
 tsThirty nine and a half is the official time."
 "Splendid ti1ne Jim, splendid time. Say, do you remember that little fire that broke out in the back part of my store last win terf''
 "Why-why-yes, believe so"
 "I thought mebbe you did. Started about two o'clock in the morning, you recollect." "Oh yes, l remember; yes. Very warm weather we're having, MT. Wooler." "Yes; 1t was quite warm around that fire, too. Must have been bout the same dis tance from your hose house to my store that you ran to day!''
 FJust about the same I should judge. Ex- euse me a moment-Tve got to go over here and see a man."
 Hold on, young fellow; I ain't quite through with you yet. Perhaps you may re- member how I worked from two o'clock till eight next morning, carrying water in pail and slinging round wet blankets, and jump ing up and down on the pump handle. Re- member it?'
 "They told me you did. I'll see you"
 "No, you won't-you'll see me right nowl Then mebby you heard how the neighbors come and helped and broke their backs car- rying water, and how my wife made herself sick Juggling things out of the store, and how everything finally burned up and the post office and bank came pretty near going too! Perhaps, too, you may have personal reeol- lection of showing up with your cart at about eight o'clock, after things were done smoking! Six hours going the same dis tance you bumped along over in thirty nine and half seconds today? Six hours run ming to a fire and thirty nine and half sec- onds running to get across a streak of salt. Half day when my goods were burning up and less'n minute when the grand stand is full of folks! Plenty O time to finish 8 po- ker game when my building was afire, but nothing but just get right down and hump when the judge hollers 'go.' Young man, we'll settle this thing right herel" and the indignant citizen pulled off his coat and grabbed the fireman and began to pound the surface of the earth with him, and then jump up and down on him, and it took two policemen to pull him off.
